Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach (85-100 grams)

- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F, then butterfly chicken breast or cut a pocket. I personally cut a pocket over splitting the entire chicken in half
- Prepare spinach by draining any excess water from it. If using fresh, wither the spinach and drain. If using frozen, melt the ice from spinach and drain well. Amount will be the same with both.
- In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, drained spinach, garlic powder and onion powder.

Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Bake in the oven, you can skip the step of searing and place the chicken directly in the oven or air fryer for 20 minutes.
- Fresh or frozen spinach, if using fresh cook spinach first until withered and drain well. When using frozen you'll have to melt the ice off and drain the excess water as well. You'll want as little water in your spinach as possibly during the cooking process.
- Toothpicks or butchers twine? I use both, but you'll need to close that chicken up if you are searing the chicken. It will by you time in the searing process before the cheeses start to melt.
